And if you think our military spending is too large of a burden to bear, look at China. They have a much lower standard of living, and yet send almost twice the American % GDP on their military. But North Korea takes first prize in absurdity. Sure, your people can eat grass. But you've got tanks and nukes so everybody will respect you!

Whether you were being sarcastic or not, this quote is basically what I was thinking. For Sir Die alot, I suggest you calm yourself down, and think about whether you really want to take money out of the economy that probably goes to economic growth and throw it in the military. I suggest you calm down because when the wars in Iraq and the middle east in general end, the U.S. will still have economic competetion with other countries, and that takes money too, but you seem afraid of something right now so much that you want to go all military. If the U.S. military is stronger by far than all the other world's militaries with an average percent GDP, that all we need, the rest should go to econimic growth.

The military can only do so much against terrorists, and terrorists are far from being the only issue in the U.S., so overspending on the military will simply waste money.
